IndexNow is the shared push protocol used by Bing, Yandex, Naver, and Seznam — POST a list of changed URLs to api.indexnow.org and the crawlers refetch within minutes instead of waiting for the next scheduled crawl. Worth wiring on a docs site that grows with releases. Three pieces: - `apps/site/public/<key>.txt` — proof-of-control file the IndexNow endpoint fetches to validate that the pinger owns the host. The key itself is non-secret; the file's presence at the site root is what gates acceptance. - `apps/site/scripts/indexnow-ping.mjs` — reads the prerendered `.output/public/sitemap.xml`, extracts URLs via regex (sitemap is small enough to skip an XML parser dependency), and POSTs the payload. Hard-gated on `VERCEL_ENV === 'production'`; preview deploys, local builds, and CI all hit a no-op path. There is intentionally no force override — `INDEXNOW_DRY_RUN=1` exists for local validation but never reaches the network. Fail-soft: a network blip or non-OK response logs and exits 0 so a Bing outage never breaks our build. - `apps/site/package.json` — `index:bing` script + chained after `index:search` in the `build` and `generate` pipelines. Bing Webmaster Tools verification was completed earlier via the GSC import path, so no `msvalidate.01` meta tag is needed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The key itself is non-secret — the file's presence at the site root is what gates IndexNow acceptance.apps/site/scripts/indexnow-ping.mjsreads the prerenderedsitemap.xml, parses URLs, and POSTs toapi.indexnow.org. Hard-gated onVERCEL_ENV === 'production'; previews / local / CI all hit the no-op path. No force override; only aINDEXNOW_DRY_RUN=1mode that prints the payload without ever reaching the network.buildandgeneratesite scripts so whichever path Vercel auto-detects, the ping runs.Bing Webmaster Tools verification was already completed via the GSC import path, so no
